Hi!

I'm thinking of changing my Cooler Master Hyper 212X into a NZXT Kraken X62 280mm. I am using ASUS Prime Z370-P, Socket-1151 and my case is Phanteks Eclipse P400S Glass Silent, and my cpu is an i7-8700k OC'ed

My question:

I am wondering if anyone has tried this setup, and/or has any tips/tricks/ideas/recommendations regarding this.

Feel free to recommend other coolers etc. 

I live in norway and we use norwegian kroners here.

I dont really have a budget.

Thanks!

Ahhh sorry, i forgot that part. Well, my cpu is peaking at around 80-90 celsius on max load, and I'd like it to be lower, also the nzxt is sexi!

I did a lot of research before I bought mine and I decided I would be happier with the Corsair unit. I've seen people (a lot) complain about the CAM software. I've seen several reviews where people said they weren't satisfied with the mirror/RGB and that it just wasn't what they were expecting.. Corsair also has their fair share of people complaining about something as, but all I can say is that I'm happy with my H150i Pro. I don't have personal experience with the NZXT AIOs so I can't speak from experience, only the opinion I formed while researching said products..
